Running backs the Falcons could target throughout 2023 NFL Draft 

Running backs the Falcons could target throughout 2023 NFL Draft 


Day 2

Devon Achane, Texas A&M

Achane posted the fastest 40-yard dash (4.32) by a running back in this year’s combine. Saying he has top-end speed would be an understatement. The former Texas A&M running back runs hard and has quick instincts, allowing him to adjust on the fly. At 5-foot-9, 185-pounds, Achane doesn’t shy away from contact either. He had 53 broken tackles last season.

His best year came in 2022 after rushing for 1,102 yards on 196 attempts and eight touchdowns, while catching 36 receptions for 196 yards and three touchdowns. Achane could be a solid option for the Falcons to take at No. 75 overall.

DeWayne McBride, UAB

McBride rushed for 3,507 yards in three seasons at UAB, posting 1,713 rushing yards in 2022 alone. Though he fumbled nine times throughout his college career, that shouldn’t take away from his efficiency as a runner. McBride runs with intensity and quickness which makes it difficult to tackle him straight up. He could be a late Day 2 steal for Atlanta.

Other Day 2 options: Tank Gibsy (Auburn), Kendre Miller (TCU)
